“You take a born-pretty girl and you dress her up in pretty things, curl her pretty hair and she becomes empty, vacuous. The only thing she can claim as a self identity is her one dimensional beauty. But take a pretty girl and throw some shit on her, and make her fight her way out of it and she’ll grow to be other-worldly radiant and a force to be reckoned with.” — Beautiful and Depraved

“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love.” — Washington Irving

Optimist from Brian Thomson on Vimeo.

Bran Thompson made this video from footage taken at the annual Holi Festival at the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork, Utah. The song is “Optimist” is by Zoe Keating.
Early March saw the annual spring Festival of Color, or Holi, in the Hindu world. If you are a clean freak, then Holi may not be for you. As part of the festival it is people’s religious duty to splatter, smatter and smother as many others as possible with colored paint and water. As religious festivals go, this is one of the messier.

The Lantern Festival

This festival occurred on November 20th, 2010 just north of Chiang Mai, Thailand.


The Lantern Festival or Yuan Xiao Festival is a festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisolar year in the Chinese calendar, the last day of the lunisolar Chinese New Year celebration. It is not to be confused with the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is sometimes also known as the "Lantern Festival" in locations such as Singapore and Malaysia. During the Lantern Festival, children go out at night to temples carrying paper lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns (simplified Chinese: 猜灯谜; traditional Chinese: 猜燈謎; pinyin: cāidēngmí). It officially ends the Chinese New Year celebrations.
